Tasman v Auckland

[Duluth]

@Tim loosies and scrum about the only things working though

Tangitau has had a shocker.

The quality of Zarns kicks has been erratic. Struggled to find ground most of the time. Hopefully he improves in the second half like last week

[KiwiMurph]

Che Clark was excellent last week and his reward is to be dropped for a Melbourne Rebel.

[Chris B.]

Big Levi offers things not many others do. Him and Nankivell are a pretty good combination, with a good pair of wingers as well.

But, without Levi, we'd be a lot less of a handful.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim Blake Gibson has never really delivered as a 7 ,plenty of energy but achieves nothing
Choat playing the role of a 6 which is just wrong need a bigger body who is also a defensive lineout option
Hicks,Sail and Segner winning that battle at the minute

[KiwiMurph]

RTS has been far from Auckland's worst but Evans was better at 15 last week

[KiwiMurph]

Rayasi is the perfect microcosm for this Auckland team - equal parts talent and sloppiness

[Mattasaurus]

Good run from Akira - not sure about him at 8 .

[antipodean]

No effort at all from Rayasi to improve the angle. Such a lazy player.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Could've brought that one closer to the posts.

[Steven Harris]

Comeback under way

[KiwiMurph]

@antipodean complete with a needless showy dive. What a waste ot talent

[Duluth]

Weird we haven’t seen much of Zarn goalkicking until this year

[Mattasaurus]

Really impressed by Robinson

Amua has been impressive - lots of involvements

[antipodean]

That's a terrible decision.

[Steven Harris]

AR’s having a poor night

[Tim]

RTS has been impressive when running the ball. He should probably be playing 12.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim perhaps this will pipe down all the casuals that were so certain he would dominate at 15.....

[Duluth]

Clark was on the bench, not Ekuasi

[KiwiMurph]

Tavatavanawai is wonderful at those turnovers - he is so strong

[KiwiMurph]

Did Auckland save money by just not having a backs/attack coach?
